More Jurassic World: Rebirth toys have been revealed. First is the Launch n’ Battle Vehicle with Velociraptor set.
Micro Adventure Playsets, reminiscent of Mighty Max. Surely I’m not the only one here who fondly remembers those?
Tyrannosaurus rex.
Out of all the exciting releases unveiled by Haolonggood in 2023, there were few I anticipated more than the nodosaur Edmontonia, which began arriving to vendors in June. Named after the Edmonton (Horseshoe Canyon) Formation in Canada where the type species was discovered, Edmontonia isn’t one of the most famous dinosaurs, nor even necessarily one of my own favorites; yet it’s known from enough substantial fossil remains to make common appearances in dinosaur literature growing up (especially in Dorling Kindersley publications, featuring the Royal Tyrrell Museum’s life model).
While the merchandise accompanying the release of the various Jurassic Park films ranged between everything from watches to bed-sheets, the most exciting items for me were of course the dinosaur figures. So I was happy to find this cool little Velociraptor figure with a big The Lost World logo on the packaging at a Copenhagen dinosaur exhibition back in 1998, only to find when I opened it that it was… A rubber pencil eraser?!
Before we begin the review, I would like to extend my gratitude towards Happy Hen Toys for sending this figure along as a review sample. Check out their large selection of animal and dinosaur figures by clicking the banner below.
Xenoceratops is a genus of centrosaurine discovered in the Foremost Formation in Alberta, Canada, and that lived during the late Cretaceous.

If I were asked to pick a favorite dinosaur toy it would be a challenging query, but I think the one I’d settle on would be the Marx Kronosaurus. A relic of Marx’s early dinosaur lines, the swan-necked prehistoric reptile has a history going back almost a century.
Takara Tomy is a millennial industry giant of toy production, whose products have probably found their way into everyone’s homes at least once. Naturally, my introduction to the brand came through their ANIA “Animal Adventure” line of palm-sized action figures featuring extant and extinct animal life.
